SOUTH FALLSBURG, NY — Chamber Music at St. Andrew’s will offer a unique operatic exploration of the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice on Saturday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m. One of the most famous Greek myths, it has inspired many famed painters, such as Peter Paul Rubens and Nicolas Poussin, and many operas, songs and plays have been composed to honor these two great lovers who tragically lost the chance to enjoy their love on earth. The evening will feature vocal and instrumental music on this theme by J.S. Bach, Henry Purcell, Frideric Handel, Georg Philipp Telemann, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Jacques Offenbach, Johann Gottlieb Graun, Riccardo Broschi and J.C. Bach performed by The Baroque Aria Ensemble with Kenneth Cooper conducting from the harpsichord.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is located at 5277 State Rte. 42. The concert is free, but reservations are required; email pcfriedman27@gmail.com (preferred) or call 845/292-8967
